Hello all,
I need/would like to give the argument that it is better to say Enter the
information in the text field
vs. type the information in the text field. this is for an online
training course.
As far as I am concerned, type is archaic and no longer used when talking
about online
When you say Enter the info ... it implies that you are pressing the Enter
key after you type the information.

That can't be right. Telling Users to enter or type text is probably the
command we use most frequently. Simplified English must have a way for
instructing Users how to do it. Otherwise, simplified English is completely
useless.
